4u2nv Posted August 23, 2012 Share A while back I heard about kids that are cycling to school on a very busy road in Cape Town, and after 2 accidents where they got hit by cars, I started toying with the idea of getting them lights and helmets. A few phonecalls and emails to fellow cyclists later, and I had enough donations to buy some lights... One phonecall to Chris Jnr, and lights were sorted at a massively reduced cost. So, 80 lights later, I had a chat to Chris Snr about the possibility of getting helmets at a good price. Without any hesitation, he offered to help me out with helmets , and again I only had to contribute what I could, and they sponsored the rest! The result was that today, we were blessed enough to hand out top notch SH+ helmets and Sci-Con LED lights to kids that otherwise would not be able to afford it. Kids that rely on a bicycle for transport.All thanks to Chris Willemse Cycles ! In conclusion I learned a couple of things today: Not only are they (CWC) arguably- the best,- the largest,- the most customer orientated cycling shop in South Africa, but they are good kinds folks, they are fathers, husbands, brothers and sisters that care for those less fortunate around them. Chris Willemse Cycles is not about the money, it is about the PEOPLE. A massive thumbs up for them, and may we all learn from them :thumbup: :thumbup: some pics Wil6, imagedee, mtbsmurf and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
